CATCH UP ON POPULAR POSTS

Weekly Menu, November 8 ~ 14, 2010

I could use some prayer this week. If you think I have been neglecting you a little.... well...l I have.... a little and I am sorry! I finished 2 articles for Belle Inspiration (a little peek on Tuesday) and am finishing up on the contents of 2 speaking engagements for this coming week. I also teach an in-depth Bible Study ( on John) on Thursday mornings.

Speaking and teaching are such a passion!!!! They are my true calling. It's always "nose to the grindstone" before I speak. I tend to get totally focused on my presentation.

So I have not been visiting like I love to... but by the end of the week I'll be back to somewhat normal. If you think of me ask God to bless me with His presence and wisdom and to bless my audience with new insight and joy! Thanks, dear ones!

I am in the mood to cook! Hope I can fit in all these yummy recipes in my very very busy week, that's Plan A. Plan B... takeout!

Cook fuscili (or fetticini) in salted water according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.

In a large skillet add butter and melt over medium heat. Add shallots mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute. Stir in porcini mushroom, sherry and a dash of salt.Stir and cook for 1minute or until liquid evaporates.

Recipe: Fabulous Beef Brisket
This melt in your mouth brisket was served at a recent dinner party and I knew I would just have to make it and share it with you. Company worthy, but so easy for a family dinner too!

Recipe: Baked Blue FishBluefish doesn't seem to be a very popular catch. But cooked properly it is very delicious and a real wonder of a fish. Give it a try!
3 lbs bluefish fillet
2 sliced tomatoes
1 onion sliced
1 lemon sliced
olive oil

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with olive oil.
Remove the dark oily flesh strip down the center of the bluefish. Salt and pepper fillet. Put fillet on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil (about 1 TBS) over fish. Put onions on top of fish and layer with tomatoes and lemon slices. Bake for 30-40 minutes until done but not dry.

Hi Yvonne! Oh, I will lift you up in prayer as you teach your Bible Study! I love the book of John. I was in Bible Study Fellowship for many years and John was one of my favorite studies! Love seeing how organized you are with your weekly menus! :)Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

Blessings for you Yvonne. God will be with you through it all. I am in awe of all you do. You are rich with God's gifts and generous to teach and give fellowship. I have not followed your blog long, but have come to enjoy reading your tips and recipes. Thanks for giving to us so generously. Now, prayers for you.

Hope you have a BLESSED week! How talented you are! The chicken dish looks delicious. Alas, I have some little ones here who refuse to eat olives, so I will make some adjustments for them, but as for me and my sweetie- bring on the olives! I can't wait to try it! We have two days of Dr. appt for little ones, so slow cooker meals will be essential twice this week. Or maybe 1 slow cooker night and 1 take-out? ~wink~Have a lovely week! Thanks for the great ideas!

Yvonne -- I will keep you in my prayers. I bet you are a fab Bible teacher. The beef brisket sounds so seasonal -- do you think beef broth would work for the beer -- not a beer drinker here. Have a wonderful week. Joni

Yvonne,Prayers are coming your way to give you strenght to endure. God has richly and abundantly blessed our lives with many talents and gifts. I am so grateful that you are a willing servant to His calling! May His presence fill your Spirit and may your JOY of knowing and serving Him be an outflow on all who hear you.We will all be a bit more patient and attentive to your needs, as well.Fondly,Pat

The beef brisket sounds delish. It's one of my favorite comfort foods which I miss from home (TX.) Will be in prayer for you this week. Sounds very busy yet productive.

You Love are always in my thoughts and prayers. Although we have never officially met you have touched my heart and I know what a gift you are to the world. I am sure that your audience will be enlightened by your talk and that through you the love is felt.

I would love to hear what you had to say and it is so nice to hear that your passion is being fulfilled.Much love,Kim
